    Such a badass weapon system – what could have been….

    A shame that Robinson Arms cancelled their M96 series too. 🙁

    One of my favorite weapon systems. I was fortunate enough to get my paws on a few over the years. They actually had a few left at one of our NSW units overseas in 1991! No linked ammo for them remained in the system by then, though, unfortunately.

    Reed Knight let me check out his collection several years back and there were still a few left at Crane when I was still active duty.

    Also got to mess with several variants at Aberdeen Proving Ground’s Museum when I was training up there and talked Dr. Atwater into a tour of the museum vault/”back room”.

    Very sophisticated weapon system.

    I would love to have a go with the system.
    It was way ahead of its time, it would be great to see what could be done now with modern materials.

    I have wanted a complete 63 system since I was a kid – I could never understand (back then) why it didn’t take off. Today I’m still surprised nothing similar has appeared in the inventory – we have a half-dozen standalone systems doing the job a 63A could do by itself!

    Is there a higher res version of this poster available?

    As I see it, the first true successful “attempt” to make a modular weapon system.

    The US military didn’t have a “light weight” LMG like the M63 until the adoption of the M249 as I understand it.
